I knowit. But we all need to do our part. Otherwise, it just confuses the obtuse ones.

Oh, my bad.....I stand corrected. I thought Bush had done another stimulus at the end of his term too. I didn't realize it was just the one.

The money put in the signs are still a waste. I'm thinking millions of dollars of sign money and post money that could have been used for something more substantial..

JUST THE ONE??? Was that not enough?

TARP is the single worst piece of 'legislation' in modern WORLD history because it sanctified or worst fears, that there is no law, no justice and no responsibility for some of us. "Some" of us are the titans of finance and their pals in the government.

We, the people, NEEDED to deal with the consequences of simply allowing our leaders to just endlessly run amok with our economy, taxes, spending, debt. Would it have hurt? Sure. However, it would have made us FIX the core problems, not cover them up. TARP, aptly named, covered them up.

Obama can do NONE of the garbage he is doing without the GOP starting this bail out mess. So, the lies go on. The guilty roam free and blameless.

Bush, and Obama, say TARP simply had to happen because it was far too important. Name one person who has been held responsible for getting us to this point, this 'too big to fail' place in time. Name a Wall Street exec, besides Lehmans Fuld, who did go down. Name one person from Goldman or Citi or AIG. Name one pol who has been held responsible.

I'd like to know if a bunch of them would have been willing to just spend THEIR OWN money for these signs.

Well - instead of MINE.

It extends to local governments also. Look how many signs the Charles County Commissioners had up for projects. How far is the county in debt, Wayne Cooper? Is is really wise to spend OUR money this foolishly?
